Pre: Warm water face wash Brush: Shavemac TSR 2015 Soap: P&B Solaris Razor: Mongoose (on loan) Blade: Feather Pro Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Floid Balsamo My two shaves with the Mongoose haven't been bad but they haven't been great either. It has a lot of fans so it's possible I'm not getting the best out of it. Bearing this in mind I decided to swop the iKon OSS handle for an EJ Barley one to make it more head heavy and fitted it with the sharper Feather Pro to make it more effective. Did any of this help? Well, it's the best shave I've had from it so far but in saying that, I get better shaves from the General, my only other 3 piece AC SE experience. Any suggestions? Should I go back to the heavier handle now I'm using a sharper blade?
Tabacstag What a difference! I was able to open the Vision up all the way using a Personna Platinum blade. It was very comfortable and smooth. I don't think I need to keep it dialed this way all the time, but at least I know I can if I want. One difference I noticed with the Vision - the sound it makes has a higher pitch than the Futur - it sounds hollow, from the head design. Tabac never fails, and my face feels great!

SOTD January 23, 2018 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: Personna Razor: Schick G4 '66' injector Brush: Artisan badger Lather: Stirling The Lounge Post: Witch hazel, RazoRock Zi'Peppino aftershave, Stirling Glacial Unscented balm WTG, touch up Nice shave this morning. Great lather that was easily swiped away with the nimble Schick 66. Enjoy your day!
The Williams Menthol cream is definitely something I need to use more often but I only have half a tube left and no way to find it again so I only use it once in a while. I love its scent and it gave me fabulous lather from just a small dab on both cheeks. The cooling effect is not as strong as what you'd get from Palmolive Menthol but it's still strong enough. Its post-shave feeling is also pretty comfortable. The Alt Innsbruck gave me a good menthol punch and its lovely scent that I love! (and my wife hates!) This shave was terrific - a two pass BBS work of art! Have a great day, folks!
